Star Trek (2009) Line-by-Line

[Rush Limborg]

Barnett: In academic vernacular...you cheated.

 

[JonnyBoy]

Kirk: Let me ask you something - I think we all know the answer to - the test, itself, is a cheat, isn't it? I mean, you programmed it to be unwinnable.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Your argument precludes the possibility of a no-win scenario.

 

[JonnyBoy]

Kirk: I don't believe in no-win scenarios.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Then not only did you violate the rules, you also failed to understand the principal lesson.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Enlighten me.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: You of all people should know, Cadet Kirk. A captain cannot cheat death.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I of all people.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Your father, Lieutenant George Kirk, assumed command of his vessel before being killed in action, did he not?

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I don't think you like that I beat your test.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Furthermore, you have failed to divine the purpose of the test.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Enlighten me again.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Spock: The purpose is to experience fear. Fear in the face of certain death. To accept that fear, and maintain control of oneself and one's crew, this is a quality expected in every Starfleet captain.

 

[Leandar]

Man: Excuse me, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Admiral Tyler Perry: We've recieved a Distress Call from Vulcan. With our Primary Fleet engaged in the Laurentian System, I'm ordering all Cadets to report to Hangar One Immediately. Dismissed.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Who was that pointy eared bastard?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

McCoy: I don't know. But i like him!

 

[Leandar]

(Officer in hangar bay assigning various cadets to various ships)

Officer: ...McCoy, USS Enterprise, Wolcott, USS Hood..... welcome to Starfleet and godspeed!

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Kirk: They didn't call my name. Commander, sir, you didn't call my name. Kirk, James T.

 

[Leandar]

Officer: Kirk, you're on academic suspension which means you're grounded until the Academy board rules.
